Trump Administration Sharpens Rollback of Fuel Economy Rules
Original: Trump Sharply Scales Back Fuel Economy Rules for New Cars https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/climate/trump-gas-cars-mile

The move would weaken mileage requirements for gas-powered vehicles, reversing stricter efficiency rules and drawing criticism from climate advocates while being welcomed by automakers and industry groups.
Why now: A major environmental policy reversal affecting the US auto market and emissions targets is fresh news.
